AFP - Iran claimed Tuesday that Israel's arrest of an alleged Iranian spy was a "repetitive scenario" aimed at ending what it called the Jewish state's "isolation" within the international community.

Just hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu left for Washington on Sunday, Israel?s Shin Bet security service announced the arrest on September 11 of a man it said was an Iranian spy carrying photographs of the US embassy in Tel Aviv.

"This is a repetitive scenario by the Zionist regime. Even Western media said the timing of the arrest and Netanyahu's leaving (for the US) was a plan to end its isolation," foreign ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham said in her weekly press briefing.

She was referring to President Hassan Rouhani's recent diplomatic push in New York to mend Iran's international ties on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

"Such desperate scenarios stem from anger, and we cannot assess them," Afkham said, adding that Israel was also isolated for its aggressive policies regarding Iran's nuclear drive.

2. Bibi

should sit down and STFU. Gas prices are falling and the economy is beginning to get better.

We need a war in the ME like we need a government shutdown. Obama has a lot on his plate w/ domestic stuff.

3. Israel needs to fight it own fights

Their manufactured and cartoon evidence is believed by them alone. The world needs peace, not more wars based on racism and xenophobia.

5. He was arrested on September the 11th, well that was certainly a cosmic coincidence.

Just hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu left for Washington on Sunday, Israel?s Shin Bet security service announced the arrest on September 11 of a man it said was an Iranian spy carrying photographs of the US embassy in Tel Aviv.

And it was announced only hours after after Net and Yahoo left for D.C.
